The Rise Of Panel-Level Packaging


An insatiable demand for logic to memory integration for AI and high-performance computing is driving progress toward very large-format packages, which are expected to approach 10 times the maximum reticle size in the next few years. These assemblies are best developed using fan-out panel-level packaging, replacing today’s wafer carrier with a panel. Fan-out packaging enables substantially... » read more

Organic interposers are resurfacing as an option in advanced packaging, several years after they were first proposed as a means of reducing costs in 2.5D multi-die configurations. There are several reasons why there is a renewed interest in this technology: More companies are pushing up against the limits of Moore's Law, where the cost of continuing to shrinking features is exorbitant. ... » read more

Litho Options For Panel Fan-out


Several packaging houses are inching closer to production of panel-level fan-out packaging, a next-generation technology that promises to reduce the cost of today’s fan-out packages. In fact, ASE, Nepes, Samsung and others already have installed the equipment in their panel-level fan-out lines with production slated for 2018 or so. But behind the scenes, panel-level packaging houses contin... » read more
